There are trains advertised from PR on 28 May and I am planning to use. Is this correctly advertised?

There is no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction the whole bank holiday weekend (Sat-Mon). Replacement buses are running.


Additionally, I'm a local resident who utilizes the park to walk my two large dogs on a fairly regular basis and enjoy the space. While the festival is not my thing and I won't go, there is absolutely NO reason not to allow this. It's a public event for the public on public land.


For those who are wholly opposed - you have options - get out of town for the weekend, use another park, buy ear plugs (see where I'm going with this?).


At the end of the day this is a good lesson in tolerance, which many people need to learn more of.

Southwark website says the promoters had other choices but they especially liked the "pretty" backdrop of this venue and wanted the visual impact of the trees and park for their ticket buyers. The common has no trees. They also said that on the common sound would be harder to contain, the trees act as a sound buffer.

Maybe we can have Jeremy Corbyn next year as his event at White Hart Lane Rec isn't selling to well :)

The government gives money to the local council but the local council are free to spend the money on whatever you voted for...many Labour councils will withhold money from the front line services and spend more on admin at the Town Hall....YOU have given them carte blanche to do this and do it they will- with impunity if central Government is Tory...so suck it up for another 4 years.

Don't know why that just came to mind...

I know right. I went to Dulwich park this weekend, and did you know, there's a caf?!!!???, right in the middle of the park!!!??? in the exact spot I wanted to sit and listen to my wireless. And all these people(probably out of towners) were in there eating, drinking and enjoying themselves. I don't know why the council didn't think of the local residents who can only use that 100sqm of park space, and couldn't possibly just sit somewhere else.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying.
